Well, welcome back. Zerlina and mehdi, our loverly colleagues, theyre great, but theres only one you. We missed you. Welcome back. Thanks to you at home for being with us today. Happy to have you here. Cnn is reporting tonight on what sounds like it may be a dramatic turn in the investigation into the January 6th attack on the u. S. Capitol. Nbc news has not verified this reporting. Im just citing what cnn has reported. If in fact this is borne out, this would be sort of a big hairy deal. What cnn is reporting tonight is that the January 6th investigation, the select committee investigating the attack, theyre about to send requests to Cell Phone providers, requesting that those Cell Phone providers preserve records from Phone Calls and the usage of Cell Phones by several people linked to the attack, including members of congress.

Phone providers, preserve records, from Phone Calls and the usage of cellphones, by several people linked to the attack. Including members of congress. The Preservation Notices are apparently, reportedly due to go to the Telecoms Providers as soon as this week.

And who is culpable for arranging or abetting the attack, chairman Bennie Thompson is confirming tonight that it is hundreds of people, for whom they are going to be seeking Cell Phone records.

By August 31 if all stays on track. But if a Terror Attack shuts down the airport or if the taliban prevents americans or our visa holders, et cetera, from coming, then we may need more time. The administration had been facing intense pressure to keep troops past the August 31st deadline not just from Western Allies who pressed the president in an Emergency Meeting of the g7 earlier today, but also from allies in congress. Some of whom say it is unlikely the u. S. Will complete the mission in the next seven days. Heres House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff on monday. I think its possible, but i think its very unlikely given the number of americans who still need to be evacuated, the number of sivs, the number of others who are members of the afghan press, Civil Society leaders, women leaders.
